NEW DELHI: Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah on Saturday condemned the defacement of plaque bearing National Emblem at Srinagar's Hazratbul Shrine. However, he said that the plaque should not have been placed in religious places in the first place.While talking to reporters, Abdullah said that LG-led J&K government should focus on work instead of "putting a stone.""The first question is whether that emblem should have been there at all?

Pakistani flag once waved at Lal Chowk; Tricolour now flies proudly under PM Modi: BJP chief Nitin Nabin
Haldwani, Sep 10 (SocialNews.XYZ) BJP President Nitin Nabin on Thursday invoked the changing symbolism of Lal Chowk in Srinagar to highlight what he described as a transformation in Jammu and Kashmir under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership. Addressing an Ex-Servicemen Conference in Uttarakhand's Haldwani, Nabin recalled his visit to Srinagar's Lal Chowk in 2011 during the BJP's National Integration Yatra. He said that witnessing a Pakistani flag being waved there had left him deeply disappointed and made him "bow his head in shame". Nabin contrasted that experience with the present-day scene at Lal Chowk, asserting that the national flag now flies there with pride.
